Red Rooster – Marco Island, Florida

Updated onJanuary 3, 2018June 4, 2020

One of the great surprises in life is being wrong when you’re sure of something, enter Red Rooster.

I’m impatient whenever we’re staying in Marco Island on vacation with my family. I usually grab breakfast wherever we’re at (I love Doreen’s) or do the coffee & donuts thing then I’m out and about for lunch in Naples or Ft. Myers. I thought I had exhausted all the spots to eat, not only for breakfast but lunch also.

Red Rooster is situated in the same strip mall with the Publix we frequent when in town. I don’t remember how I came across it, but I want to say I caught the name out of the corner of my eye when driving by.

My parents and I were both hungry and ready to go; everyone else stayed behind at the pool. It shouldn’t surprise you that we ordered the burger, in this case, the Horseradish Burger. The Meatloaf Sandwich also didn’t escape our grasp.

The burger was nice and solid work with that horseradish cheddar cheese & crispy bacon, no complaints from us. Now, the meatloaf sammie was a work of art. Those caramelized onions with the chipotle ketchup were out of this world. I’m imagining myself eating it again right now, so dreamy. Oh yeah, get those sweet potato fries, definitely worth it.

My Dad and I returned to Red Rooster a day later for breakfast. We’re always the first to rise and knew this would be an opportunity to have an excellent breakfast.

Try The Crazy Flamingo on Marco Island. They serve the best Burgers and wings on the ISLAND. Don’t let the
Dive bar atmosphere scare you. Fresh seafood and the oyster are shucked to order right in front of you.
A must try.
